Someday I'll install E and test it myself. It seems light on resources and beautiful (judging by screenshots, videos etc). And the more interesting: I read that it's stack and tiling WM at the same time!

Also, I like the fact that it is in very active development.

Here is a question, is there a mainstream distro supporting Enlightenment? It has been a very long time since I've had it installed anywhere, might be a good time for another peak.

Off the top of my head, Mageia ships with official Enlightenment support (that is, with a theme and an install group and everything). Fedora also has a very up to date Enlightenment stack, too.

openSUSE has very good enlightenment support:

This repo already has version 22:

Antergos lets you choose which desktop environment you want in the installer, but you can only choose from a few, including Enlightenment. PCLinuxOS also has an Enlightenment version. And Elive (I know it's not mainstream by itself, but it's based on Debian, which is).

Yes, and enabled by default. This has been the case for a few years now...
